My friends 🙄I only set the last poll for one day when I meant one week. Well, to err is human, and we can say I'm very, very human I guess. I'll keep the other one up as a monument to my shame but this one is the real one.

Here it is: Our poll for our January book! It is our first themed month, and we'll be debuting the year with Author Debuts! Some of the choices are very new and we'll need time to source them for when we start, January 8th!

Book summaries are under the cut! Each new title is in bold for clarity. If you’d like to join the book club, now or for the next book, feel free to send me an ask and I’ll give you the link to our Discord!

Leigh Howard and the Ghosts of Simmons-Pierce Manor by Shawn M. Warner

Orphaned, she goes to live with incredibly wealthy relatives she never knew she had. Struggling to fit into her new world, she can’t let go of her grief. When the police tell her the investigation into her parents’ murder has hit a brick wall, she knows the only way she will ever know peace is to solve the mystery herself. With new family and friends, which includes a ghost with multiple personality issues, Leigh risks everything to find her answers.

Join Leigh on her adventure through the brutal world of organized crime and betrayal.

A Botanist’s Guide to Parties and Poisons by Kate Khavri

Saffron Everleigh is in a race against time to free her wrongly accused professor before he goes behind bars forever. Perfect for fans of Deanna Raybourn and Anna Lee Huber, Kate Khavari’s debut historical mystery is a fast-paced, fearless adventure.

London, 1923. Newly minted research assistant Saffron Everleigh attends a dinner party for the University College of London. While she expects to engage in conversations about the university’s large expedition to the Amazon, she doesn’t expect Mrs. Henry, one of the professors’ wives, to drop to the floor, poisoned by an unknown toxin.

Dr. Maxwell, Saffron’s mentor, is the main suspect, having had an explosive argument with Dr. Henry a few days prior. As evidence mounts against Dr. Maxwell and the expedition’s departure draws nearer, Saffron realizes if she wants her mentor’s name cleared, she’ll have to do it herself.

Joined by enigmatic Alexander Ashton, a fellow researcher, Saffron uses her knowledge of botany as she explores steamy greenhouses, dark gardens, and deadly poisons. Will she be able to uncover the truth or will her investigation land her on the murderer’s list?

The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler

Humankind discovers intelligent life in an octopus species with its own language and culture, and sets off a high-stakes global competition to dominate the future.

Rumors begin to spread of a species of hyperintelligent, dangerous octopus that may have developed its own language and culture. Marine biologist Dr. Ha Nguyen, who has spent her life researching cephalopod intelligence, will do anything for the chance to study them.

The transnational tech corporation DIANIMA has sealed the remote Con Dao Archipelago, where the octopuses were discovered, off from the world. Dr. Nguyen joins DIANIMA’s team on the islands: a battle-scarred security agent and the world’s first android.

The octopuses hold the key to unprecedented breakthroughs in extrahuman intelligence. The stakes are high: there are vast fortunes to be made by whoever can take advantage of the octopuses’ advancements, and as Dr. Nguyen struggles to communicate with the newly discovered species, forces larger than DIANIMA close in to seize the octopuses for themselves.

But no one has yet asked the octopuses what they think. And what they might do about it.

A near-future thriller about the nature of consciousness, Ray Nayler’s The Mountain in the Sea is a dazzling literary debut and a mind-blowing dive into the treasure and wreckage of humankind’s legacy.

A Magic Steeped in Poison by Judy I. Lin

For Ning, the only thing worse than losing her mother is knowing that it’s her own fault. She was the one who unknowingly brewed the poison tea that killed her—the poison tea that now threatens to also take her sister, Shu.

When Ning hears of a competition to find the kingdom’s greatest shennong-shi—masters of the ancient and magical art of tea-making—she travels to the imperial city to compete. The winner will receive a favor from the princess, which may be Ning’s only chance to save her sister’s life.

But between the backstabbing competitors, bloody court politics, and a mysterious (and handsome) boy with a shocking secret, Ning might actually be the one in more danger.

Legendborn by Tracy Deonn

After her mother dies in an accident, sixteen-year-old Bree Mathews wants nothing to do with her family memories or childhood home. A residential program for bright high schoolers at UNC-Chapel Hill seems like the perfect escape—Until Bree witnesses a magical attack her very first night on campus.

A flying demon feeding on human energies.

A secret society of so called “Legendborn” students that hunt the creatures down.

And a mysterious teenage mage who calls himself a “Merlin” who attempts—and fails—to wipe Bree’s memory of everything she saw.

The mage’s failure unlocks Bree’s own unique magic a buried memory with a hidden connection: the night er mother ded, another Merlin was at the hospital. Now that Bree knows there’s more to her mother’s death than what’s on the police report, she’ll do whatever it takes to find out the truth, even if that means infiltrating the Legendborn as one of their initiates.

She recruits Nick, a self-exiled Legendborn with is own grudge against the group, and their reluctant partnership pulls them deeper into the society’s secrets—and closer to each other. But when the Legendborn reveal themselves as the descendants of King Arthur’s knights and explain that a magical war is coming, Bree has to decide how far she’ll go for the truth and whether she should use her magic to take the society down—or join the fight.

A Prayer for Vengeance by Leanne Schwartz

An orphan out to find the truth within a warped religion turns his poetry into prayer—a prayer that awakens a cursed girl hungry for revenge.

Centuries after a miracle vanquished Tresttato’s monsters and turned the soldiers fighting them to stone, Milo lovingly tends to the statues of those who protected the city. Raised with devout templars and scholars, autistic temple ward Milo wants nothing more than to be accepted into their ranks. When his prayers admiring her heroic sacrifice accidentally free Gia from stone, she wakes with a fury to kil the man Milo owes his life to, Primo Sanct Ennio.

Gia claims that the immortal holy leader Milo lives to serve is the same man who betrayed her and transformed her into a statue—and what Milo always believed was a miracle was actually a curse that Gia will stop at nothing to break. Even if she has to kill his followers to do it. Even if she must kill the boy who woke her.

Queerly Beloved by Susie Dumond

A people-pleasing baker tries to find her place as a bridesmaid-for-hire. Will she finally find her happily ever after—and her own voice?

Amy, a semicloseted queer baker and bartender in mid-2010s Oklahoma, has spent a lifetime putting other people’s needs before her own. Until, that is, she’s fired from her job at a Christian bakery and turns her one-off gig subbing in for a bridesmaid into a full-time business—thanks to her baking talents, crafting skills, and years of watching rom-coms and Say Yes to the Dress. Between her new gig and meeting Charley, the attractive engineer who’s just moved to Tulsa, suddenly Amy’s found something—and someone—she actually wants. Her tight-knit group of chosen family is thrilled that Amy is becoming her authentic self. But when her deep desire to please kicks into overdrive, Amy’s precarious balancing act strains her relationships to the breaking point, and she must decide what it looks like to be true to herself—and if she has the courage to try.

♥ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 ,

oldest child of actor patrick sinclair (rarely ever there father) and socialite annalise hilton (of the hilton hotel chain and overbearing mother)

was expected to take on the hotel chain at some point, even if she doesn’t want to

sent to an all girl’s boarding school, mother thinking she couldn’t possibly get into any trouble there, and yet everleigh brought her worst fears into fruition by sneaking out to parties, drinking under the age and getting high off of a multitude of drugs; gets caught her junior year and is subsequently expelled

homeschooling ensues for the last two years of high school; parents paying off the boarding school to remove the expulsion from her file to ensure she gets into an ivy league which she ultimately does; going on to study business at harvard, thousands of miles away from her mother much to everleigh’s relief, where she does everything but study quickly falling back into partying ways before convincing her father to help her get her first role in a movie which would end up being a one elizabeth bennett in pride & prejudice and ultimately dropping out of the ivy league school to begin her acting career.

at age 25, everleigh marries castmate, orlando bloom, after six months of dating ; it is unknown why the pair ultimately divorced a year later but it appears that the two are still friends

2016; everleigh is cast in jack ryan: shadow recruit opposite actor chris pine; the pair hit it off and began dating before getting married a year later. relationship lasts five years before they too are divorced; reasons are again unknown but pair still seems amicable

♥ 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐈𝐃𝐒 ,

once told her mother off at a debutante ball when she was 17

hasn’t spoken to either of her parents since she was 20

does not speak to persephone and athena’s parents either having not agree with how controlling they were over older cousin’s life

has been the face of many designer clothing lines

sinclair is the face of an Amnesty International campaign to support human rights

co-hosted A Night to Remember, part of the Green Carpet Challenge, a charity event highlighting sustainability within the fashion industry.

she backed Made By Dyslexia, a global campaign to help teachers address “dyslexic strengths”.

she was confirmed as the new celebrity face of Chanel's perfume Coco Mademoiselle and has endorsed Chanel Fine Jewelry's collection Coco Crush

was named amongst the most bankable actors in 2009 at the age of 20

won a libel case against the British tabloid Daily Mail after it falsely claimed that she had an eating disorder; turned around and donated the money to Beat, a charity for those with mental illness and eating disorders

a man was sentenced to eight weeks in prison after harassing sinclair outside her home and stalking her in December 2016

In April 2009, sinclair appeared in a video to raise awareness of domestic abuse entitled Cut shot for Women's Aid. The video created controversy, with some sources calling it too graphic, while other groups support the video for showing a realistic depiction of domestic violence. (rumors spread because of this which she has publicly addressed in regards to both orlando bloom and chris pine respectfully stating it was not her saying she had experienced it first hand in her own relationships but that she was merely trying to help raise awareness, to speak up for those who couldn’t.)

Trust Your Instincts Story Introduction

Everleigh Howard had dreamed of being a reporter since she was younger. When most of her classmates played teachers or doctors, she was scribbling down nonsensical words and calling them stories. As she grew up, Everleigh’s determination to find her story was one that often had teachers complaining of daydreaming, and had part-time bosses sighing in frustration. But, when a true crime podcaster comes to town, and mysteries seem to rear their heads, suddenly people are trying to stop her digging for far different reasons. Reasons that seem to include her own safety.

“If you mean to intimidate me, you’re wasting your time,” Fletcher said.

“I pay you to be intimidated.”

His valet arched a brow. “Very well, then. Pretend I’m quaking in my boots if it suits you.”

The Beast of Beswick. By Amalie Howard. Entangled Publishing, 2019.

Rating: 3/5 stars

Genre: historical romance

Series: Regency Rogues #1

Summary: Lord Nathaniel Harte, the disagreeable Duke of Beswick, spends his days smashing porcelain, antagonizing his servants, and snarling at anyone who gets too close. With a ruined face like his, it's hard to like much about the world. Especially smart-mouthed harpies—with lips better suited to kissing than speaking—who brave his castle with indecent proposals.

But Lady Astrid Everleigh will stop at nothing to see her younger sister safe from a notorious scoundrel, even if it means offering herself up on a silver platter to the forbidding Beast of Beswick himself. And by offer, she means what no highborn lady of sound and sensible mind would ever dream of—a tender of marriage with her as his bride.

***Full review below.***

CONTENT WARNINGS: explicit sexual content

OVERVIEW: I happened upon this book while doing a little research on fairy tale retellings in historical romance. I hadn't read anything by Amalie Howard before, so I took a chance on her Regency Rogues series and zipped through the first installment. Overall, my reactions are a bit mixed. While I think Howard writes fairly well and the first half of this book is rather compelling, I found the second half tedious and disjointed from its setup. I'm not opposed to reading more by this author, but unfortunately, I can't give my first experience more than 3 stars.

WRITING: Howard's writing is fairly good and balances showing and telling in a way I find pleasing in the romance genre. I thought the sentences flowed together well and the trade off between internal and external actions felt natural.

PLOT: The non-romance plot of this book follows Lady Astrid Everleigh and her younger sister Isobel, who seek help from Thane Harte, Duke of Beswick to avoid Isobel's marriage to the Earl of Beaumont. Astrid and Isobel are dependent on their greedy uncle, who aims to marry Isobel off in exchange for a portion of her sizeable dowry. The uncle makes a deal with the Earl of Beaumont - a man who originally wanted to marry Astrid but, when she refused to have premarital sex with him, he broke off the engagement and spread rumors that ruined her reputation. Because Beaumont is an Earl, Astrid proposes a deal to Thane: a marriage of convenience in exchange for the protection of his title. The trouble is: Thane is a recluse because of his extensive war scars, and he's not about to burden a beautiful young bride with his surliness and hideousness.

I do think, however, that parts of this book felt a little repetitive. The hero's various erections, for example, are described over and over again, and there were a few words and phrases that were deployed more than once. It almost felt like Howard wasn't sure how to communicate male desire, so I think a little more variance would have been appreciated.

The first half of this book was engaging. The stakes felt high, with Isobel in danger from her uncle and Beaumont and Astrid felt like she was strategic for proposing a plan that would save her. The dynamics between Astrid and Thane in the first half were also delicious; I liked the way she pushed him and refused to let him indulge in his self-loathing.

The second half, however, felt like a different story as the stakes fell away and Astrid and Thane entered into a sort of holding pattern. At this point in the story, things become rather cyclical and tedious, with more emphasis given to parties, clothing, and domestic affairs than the high stakes established previously, and not even Isobel's arc was compelling enough to feel worthwhile.

CHARACTERS: Astrid, our heroine, was fun to follow for the first half because she was pushy and witty. I liked how she refused to let Thane get the upper hand in any given situation, and her complete devotion to her sister's well-being is commendable. In the second half, it felt like most of those qualities went away and Astrid was a little more stagnant, but I still liked how part of her arc involved learning to let Isobel dictate her own life.

Thane, our hero, is mostly fun to watch because of his banter with Astrid. On his own, he's that sort of self-loathing recluse whose behavior can sometimes be understandable but other times be repetitive. I didn't particularly like Thane in the second half because he seemed to exert much more control over people in ways I found annoying; he didn't seem to grow so much as he simply got over his hang-ups.

Side characters were enjoyable and sometimes rescued the story when the main couple seemed to flounder. Isobel starts off as this sheltered teenager and quickly becomes a calculating member of the ton, and I liked that her success stems in part by having her sister as a role model. Mabel, Thane's aunt, was truly a delight; I loved that she continued to love Thane despite his efforts to push her away, and I especially loved that Mabel was one of those widows who uses her freedom to enjoy the hell out of her life. Every scene with her was a joy.

The antagonists played their parts, though they ceased to feel like real threats halfway through the book. The uncle's greed felt real and Beaumont's persistence felt like an overwhelming problem because of his rank. I do wish more was done in the second half because there was so much room for more cunning manipulation, but I also appreciated that things didn't get too out of hand.

ROMANCE: The romance, much like the plot, was better and more exciting in the first half than it was in the second. In the first half, I loved watching Astrid push Thane's boundaries and I loved the way Thane responded, becoming intrigued by someone who would dare defy the wishes of a Duke. Their banter made for some tense moments that were full of delicious potential, and I liked that the two got to know each other through their verbal sparring.

The second half was incredibly tedious and repetitive. At this point, Astrid and Thane enter their marriage of convenience, and it's a cyclical pattern of Astrid trying to protect her heart, the two sleeping together, then Thane pushing her away. The characters didn't so much grow as a couple as they did decide to just get over themselves; I'm not a big fan of these types of arcs, and frankly, Howard could have used Beaumont to drive some truly interesting development between the two lovers (either by having them bond over their mutual status as social outcasts or by having them play figurative chess with Beaumont over Isobel).

Perhaps the most frustrating thing about their romance is that it didn't feel like Howard knew how to communicate the emotional fulfillment they brought to one another. Their lust is easy to see, and Astrid does prove to Thane that she loves him despite his scars, but Astrid seemed to have too many things that were only fulfilled at the surface-level. Astrid is simultaneously grappling with issues of patriarchy, women's education, being socially outcast, and controlling her sister's life, and because Howard tries to include all of these, it felt like there was no real strong arc that Thane could help Astrid navigate. It would have been more effective if Howard focused on Astrid's ridicule by society, since that would have paralleled Thane's arc, and the stuff with Isobel would have complimented that nicely.

TL;DR: The Beast of Beswick starts out promising, but devolves into cyclical, tedious, back-and-forth indecision about halfway through. Though I enjoyed the wit and banter in the first half, the lack of stakes and the stunting of growth in the second half make for a mixed reading experience.
